## Re entry permit - reason for absence ##
Hi!
I seek advice for my below mentioned case:
Me, my sister and my mother are green card holders. I am working here in USA and my mother and sister are financially dependent on me (though we have other relatives in USA who applied for our GC).
Next month we want to go back to India for 2 years (because that is the max duration) and will be applying for a reentry permit. Also, I will quit my job here, Hence my mother and sister will also go back to India with me.
The reason I want to go back is that I am getting married and want to stay with my husband; because it will take 2-3 years for him to get a Green Card and come to USA with me. So I will file application for my husband's green card after marriage and will stay in India till the expiration of re-entry permit.
My question is - Can I write this as a reason for absence for reentry permit(getting married etc..)?
Also, my sister will continue education, so she can write the same in her application.
But what about my mother?
I am not sure what reason should I write for her.
I would really appreciate quick advice..
